Italy's Poste slightly ups outlook after Q2 profit beats forecast
Poste Italiane slightly improved its full year profit goal on Tuesday, after second-quarter operating profit fell less than expected supported by a strong performance of the postal service's traditional parcel and mail distribution business. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) came in at 782 million euros ($846 million) in the three months to the end of June, down year-on-year but well above a 713 million euro forecast in an analyst consensus compiled by the company. In 2023, second quarter EBIT stood at 799 million euros boosted by a non cash capital gain on an acquisition.

Surviving Rwanda: God, remembrance and reconciliation on the genocide’s 30th anniversary
Thirty years ago, while he was hiding from the machetes that killed his father, two of his brothers and an estimated 800,000 other people during the genocide against Rwanda's Tutsi minority, Pascal Kanyemera made a deal with God. “Please, if I survive one more week, I will give you 100 Rwandan francs.” The genocide was ignited on April 6, 1994, when a plane carrying President Juvénal Habyarimana, a member of the Hutu majority, was shot down as it prepared to land in Rwanda's capital, Kigali.

Sicilians deal so well with drought that tourists don’t notice. A record dry year could alter that
Lakes are dry and fields are scorched by heat in Sicily, but water is still gushing copiously for tourists. After an almost totally rain-free year on the Italian island, fountains inside Agrigento's famous archaeological park are still flowing, and pools in rows of hotels are full. Like many Mediterranean islands, people in Sicily are used to long spells without rain, but human-caused climate change has made weather more erratic, and droughts can be longer and more frequent.

EMERGING MARKETS-Asian stocks, FX tepid ahead of key central bank meetings
* S. Korea, Taiwan shares lead declines * Asian currencies struggle for direction * Indonesian rupiah, Thai baht biggest losers By Roushni Nair July 30 (Reuters) - South Korea and Taiwan stocks fell more than 1% each on Tuesday, leading declines across Asia's emerging markets, while the focus remained squarely on key central bank policy decisions that left already unnerved investors unsure about taking on riskier bets. Currencies in the region were largely range-bound as uncertainty around midweek monetary policy meetings from the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and the U.S. Federal Reserve sent investors scurrying for the safety of the dollar. The dollar index - which measures the currency against a basket of peers - inched up 0.2% to 104.6, while the Indonesian rupiah and Thailand's baht fell more than 0.2% each.

India's Adani Enterprises eyes first-ever public debt issue in coming weeks, sources say
India's Adani Enterprises, the flagship firm of Adani Group, plans to launch its first-ever public issue of bonds in the coming weeks to raise up to 6 billion rupees ($71.7 million), two sources aware of the development said on Tuesday. Adani Enterprises had decided not to proceed with a debut retail bond offering of up to 10 billion rupees last year after U.S.-based short-seller Hindenburg Research accused the group of improper use of offshore tax havens and stock manipulation. Adani Group denied Hindenburg's allegations, but shares of its group companies lost more than $100 billion in value before recovering in late 2023.
